Hans's place was wonderful! Margo described it "as like living in a fairlytale." The setting was idyllic and was only 20-25 minutes from Delft or Rotterdam. Parking was right next to the cottage. So was the Windmill. Hans gives tours on Saturday but we got there Sunday evening. Tuesday we enjoyed a quick personal tour. It is water moving mill and is still in use today when the wind is blowing.It is a very special place to stay!

Windmill Cottage

Windmill Cottage was a delightfully appointed place to stay for 4 adults. Our host Hans was most helpful in suggesting places to visit and where to eat and we enjoyed looking around his farm. A most enjoyable stay and would highly recommend it for a delightful experience.

A Peaceful Place To Relax

We loved the peaceful setting out in the country. It was a great place to unwind. We enjoyed the sheep, swans, and other birds. It was incredible to see a windmill up close out of our windows every day.

Un superbe séjour - wonderfull stay

We have spent a wonderfull time in Hans's cottage. The location is very comfortable and practical with a beautiful view on the countryside. All the great towns ( Gouda, Delft, Amsterdam, la Haye,...) are near (30 to 45 mn by car) so it is very convenient for the visits in the beautiful Holland. Great stay fully recommanded with a great mill to visit !!

Perfect introduction to the Netherlands!

This place was perfect for our first visit to the Netherlands. Hans was a perfect host and even took us inside his home and showed us the inner workings of the windmill at the request of our 12 year old. Loved coming home to this place in the evening, we would love to come stay here again in the future.

Excellent Stay

We stayed 6 nights in April. Highly recommended. Small village with a Spar and a bakery/coffee shop on the large canal just a km away. Nice to watch all sizes of boats up the canal. Owner very cordial and helpful. Well located to visit the nearby towns. Peaceful. The windmill is very very interesting.

Wonderful Stay

We came to see the tulip fields and absolutely loved this VRBO. This location was an easy 20-minute drive to Keukenhof. It was nice and quiet. There was a patio where you could relax and enjoy the views. Hans was very friendly and communicative and even arranged a last-minute tour of the windmill for us. Our kids loved the trampoline and the soccer play area. I highly recommend this location. Thank you Hans for such a wonderful stay.

Amazing, convenient, and relaxing

We loved our stay at the Windmill Cottage! Hans was very helpful and welcoming, the cottage was very clean, big, and had everything we needed. The location is very convenient to other parts of Holland, and it was lovely biking in the area with bikes that we could easily and cheaply rent from Hans. The sunsets were amazing, and it was special to see ducks, swans, rabbits, and other animals in this quiet and beautiful area. If we come back to Holland, we will definitely stay here again.

Lovely place

We stayed 4 days in this very lovely place. We are a big family (2 adults and 5 children), the place is very cozy, we have a lot of place inside the cottage, and also outside (rarely used because of the weather). Is very close to the old windmill where the cottage owners live. The owners are very kind persons, and will be happy to give you also information about places to visit during your stay. We will come back certainly, if we will visit the Netherland again.
